Three Colours Midterm Report (Best of 2009)
Best of 2009 at the Midterm
Well, 2009 has officially reached its mid-way point, and what a year it has been! If the last half even comes close to equaling the front half, this may be the best year of music in the last decade. So for this Fourth of July weekend, Three Colours presents the 2009 Midterm Report. Currently these are the albums and EPs that have found endless rotation. Through incessant overplaying, these releases have ceased to lose their charm. Also included are the best concerts I've been fortunate enough to attend this year. And finally, as a little bonus, a list of the albums I'm obsessively impatient toward their future release.
